Different Types of Traffic Bollards for Asset Protection

Traffic bollard posts are important for protecting many different types of property, whether it’s through physical impact resistance or visual deterrence for drivers.

There are many kinds of bollards depending on the location where property owners want to install them.

Safety

Some are designed merely to meet safety regulations, while others are designed to provide illumination or even visual appeal in certain areas. These are the three main types of traffic posts you’re likely to see.

Solid Colored Traffic Bollards

What’s a Bollard?

These traffic bollard posts are the most common type you’re likely to see in public locations.

They are simple, often yellow, black or stainless steel silver, and designed to visually deter drivers while oftentimes protecting from vehicle impact.

Fixed Bollards

Fixed, removable bollards and collapsible posts are available based on the need for temporary or permanent solutions.

Fixed posts are firmly planted in the ground, and are intended to stay there on a permanent basis, while collapsible posts are lowered and removable posts removed entirely when no longer needed.

Many different types of industrial facilities and other locations use these types of traffic posts.

Illuminated Traffic Posts

If a location is particularly dark and requires additional lighting, such as a stretch of street near a park in the center of a city, illuminated bollards provide lighting in those areas. They are usually lit at the top, and give pedestrians and drivers additional visibility at night.
